The push button is elastically disposed between the enclosure and the first circuit board. The push button is partially exposed outside the enclosure. The battery holder defines a holding groove which penetrates through a rear surface of the battery holder. The battery holder includes at least one pair of plate-shaped conductive pads fastened to a top of the battery holder. The battery is placed in the holding groove of the battery holder. A bottom end of the push button is buckled with a top end of the battery holder. The battery holder together with the battery is assembled upward in the first receiving groove of the enclosure. Each of the conductive pads is corresponding to and electrically contacts the resilient contact portion of one of the conductive terminals. The resilient contact portion of each of the conductive terminals is compressed to accumulate elastic force. The conductive pads are electrically connected with an anode and a cathode of the battery, respectively. When the push button is pressed rearward, the bottom end of the push button breaks away from the top end of the battery holder. The resilient contact portions of the conductive terminals release the elastic force to push against the conductive pads of the battery holder to make the battery holder move downward for a distance, so that the battery holder is automatically ejected out of the enclosure.

As a result, the battery holder is taken down directly to replace the battery placed in the battery holder of the battery box structure, so that the process of replacing the battery placed in the battery box structure of the electronic product need spend less time. Moreover, a second enclosure of the enclosure is fastened to a front of a first enclosure of the enclosure and covers up a top of the first receiving groove, so the first receiving groove is partially exposed out of the second enclosure to make an area of the cover portion of the battery holder exposed out of the first receiving groove be smaller so as to satisfy an appearance requirement of the electronic product. Thus, the battery box structure is for the convenience of replacing the battery therein.
